Physics of the Ion Composition Boundary: a comparative 3-D hybrid simulation study of Mars and Titan
The plasma environments of Mars and Titan have been studied by means of a 3-D hybrid simulation code, treating the electrons as a massless, charge-neutralizing fluid, whereas ion dynamics are covered by a kinetic approach. As neither Mars nor Titan possesses a significant intrinsic magnetic fie...
